Heroes of Silver Moon
Chapter 492: : Undercurrent surging
Several envoys pointed their tongues at each other, and Simon nodded frequently and said, "So that's how it is!"
In fact, there are two problems over and over again.
First, the border on the map of the new French territory coincides with the border of their family's territory. Although Simon has not opened up towns and garrisons on the border, it is still a wasteland, but these families still believe that Simon has invaded their territory.
Second, Simon "forced" the people to move to the new French territory, resulting in a serious population loss in their territory, and asked Simon to make compensation for this matter.
Crown Prince Jonas sneered frequently in his heart, and there was nothing wrong with wanting to accuse them of crimes. These accusations were totally groundless, and they came here to disgust Simon, and even the lords behind them probably never thought of getting compensation.
Looking at Simon, who is calm and shows no anger at all, Crown Prince Yona can't help admiring, how did this kid grow up to be so deep in the city?
"Well, what you said is very reasonable. I also realized the mistakes I made, so how can I compensate the lords?" Simon said in a warm tone with a smile on his lips.
"Hiss!" Like an electric current passing through their bodies, several messengers exploded in an instant, and a sense of horror welled up in their hearts. It was obvious that Simon's smile was so warm, but they didn't even dare to breathe out, hesitating and ignoring How should I answer.
As retainers of various families, when they came to support the new French leader, they were all in the coalition army. The scene of Simon killing nearly ten thousand barbarians in one blow is still vivid in his mind.
Although the young lord is young, in their hearts, he is an existence that must not be provoked. If it weren't for the lord's repeated orders, they would never come here at all.
Even taking advantage of the crown prince's presence to make a big fuss at the banquet, it took a lot of courage to do it, so how dare they really accept Simon's compensation.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in this kind of atmosphere, whoever accepts whoever dies!
The envoys exchanged winks, but none of them dared to agree, so they all felt bitter and helpless.
Before they came, they never thought that Simon would be so "talkative", not only did he not show any anger at all, but he even agreed to pay compensation, just like punching cotton, not only did he not feel sick to Simon, but Simon Disgusting them.
This is how to do?
"Since you don't say anything, then I will make my own decision and compensate each lord with a thousand gold coins! Tell your lords after you go back, and I hope you adults will not be disgusted."
Simon spoke softly at first, and then his tone suddenly became harsh: "Deborah, take the money!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crown prince and others, Deborah took out some gold cards from the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and came to them with a sneer. He wanted to see if these families would dare to accept the money today.
Accepting it is tantamount to offending Simon to death, and waiting for Simon's revenge in the future! The revenge of a master mage, that's no joke!
If you don't accept this farce today, their families will become clowns. Not only will they not disgust Simon at all, but they will also make all the nobles in the kingdom laugh at them.
For a time, these envoys were in trouble.
The teasing gazes of the crown prince and the onlookers made the leading envoy surge up with blood, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Thank you Sir Simon for your generosity, we will definitely bring the word to you!"
After speaking, he took the gold card first and left.
The other envoys looked at each other in blank dismay, and had no choice but to take Jinka and leave with a wry smile. The grasshopper, who was originally a rope, had to advance and retreat in unison at this time, otherwise a loose alliance with different hearts would not have the capital to fight Simon.
After all the envoys had left, the banquet resumed. The crown prince raised his wine glass and asked with a smile, "How are you going to deal with this?"
He didn't believe that Simon would just bear this breath.
Although he looks gentle and lazy at ordinary times, once this man starts to exert his strength, several of the intertwined and deeply rooted old nobles in the capital will be defeated, let alone a few small lords in the desolate land up.
Simon also picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and replied blankly: "Wait!"
That's right, wait, wait until the new French leader enters a stable period, wait until the new army's combat power reaches a higher level, and when the right time comes, he will teach those lords an unforgettable lesson.
"Oh." The crown prince shook his head with a smile, and didn't say anything more. This matter had nothing to do with him in the first place, so it was a good show.
Someone disturbed the situation, and everyone's interest was not high. The farewell banquet ended in a hurry. Crown Prince Yona sat in a luxurious carriage and left slowly under the **** of a group of royal guards.
Simon, Harris, and Deborah traveled all the way until the border of the new French territory, this is the rule!
Watching the convoy go away, Simon turned his head and told Deborah: "Don't think too much about it. The most important thing now is to develop the territory. When the time is right, I will naturally deal with those people."
Deborah and Harris nodded at the same time. They also knew that the most important thing at this time was the territory. Only when the territory was on the right track could they be freed to do other things.
"Deborah, I remember telling you to recruit some administrative talents when you go to the capital!" Simon asked with a serious face.
Now there are plenty of military officers in the new French Territory, but Deborah is almost the only civil servant, and administrative talents are indispensable in order to realize the territorial plan formulated by Simon.
Deborah nodded, and replied with a helpless face: "A total of seven or eight were brought back, and they were either frail old people or inexperienced boys."
The new French Territory is too remote and desolate. How could scholars who are used to the prosperity of the capital be willing to come to such a ghostly place, that is, people who have difficulties in life and are unable to solve them will listen to Deborah's high salary. Fudge, come to work in this kind of place where the birds don't shit.
In fact, half of these people began to regret when they first entered the southern border and saw patches of wasteland. If it weren't for Deborah, they would never have sent them back, and they probably would have run away long ago.
"It doesn't matter. The old man has experience, and the young man has vitality and future. We can arrange more secretarial work for the old man and focus on training the young man. By the way, what salary do you promise them?" Simon asked.
Deborah felt a little guilty, and replied: "The monthly salary of the elderly is twelve silver coins, and the monthly salary of young people is ten silver coins."
To be honest, this kind of salary was ridiculously high, but at that time, in order to fool people over, he really couldn't care about so much, so he could only raise the salary as much as possible.
Simon didn't mean to blame Deborah, but nodded in agreement: "That's fine. In addition, distribute houses and servants to them, and then ask them if they would like to bring their families to join the new law, and tell them about the treatment of new residents. them."
Deborah's face twitched, she nodded and didn't reply. In addition to the houses and servants distributed, the treatment is two or three times that of other places. It's really distressing to see the vain silver coins flow out!
But since Uncle Simon is willing, what's the use of his opposition? Anyway, he is just a tool man.
"Also, from today onwards, the headquarters of the new army will be changed to the lord's mansion. At the end of each year, the military and political conference of the territory will be held, and an administrative building will be set up, where you will handle government affairs.
I am currently drafting the laws of the new law, and you must familiarize yourself with and understand the policies that are released now. The implementation of the policies must be resolute, farmland reclamation, town planning..."
Simon continued to give instructions, and Deborah's face turned green when he heard it. He didn't expect that there would be so many things to be busy next!
In the castle of the Cochrane family, several lords gathered again. Looking at the coats of arms on their bodies, they were the families who made a fuss about the crown prince's farewell banquet.
"What should we do? That kid broke our calculation easily, what should we do next?" A lord asked with a livid face.
Not only did Simon not feel disgusted by this plan, but he also led an army. Although the family's face was saved, it also declared war in a disguised form.
Moreover, if this matter gets out, Simon, who is in full swing, will surely increase his reputation again, making it even more difficult to deal with.
"Don't worry, wasn't the failure in the first stage originally expected? Although the boy handled it properly, it still can't change anything. What's more, we got a thousand gold coins for no reason. Is it equivalent to making money?" Viscount Cochrane asked with a confident smile, shaking his wine glass.
It was just a trace of seriousness in the depths of his eyes, but it still leaked out, he was not as calm as the surface.
After all, it’s true. Regardless of other things about this matter, at least let them see clearly that Simon is not a fool who only possesses great power, but an enemy who possesses great power but is also full of intelligence and sensitivity. How can it not make people feel heavy.
"Hmph, what we want to talk about is, what should we do next?" Another lord snorted. Although the nobles in the desolate land are rude, they also have the advantage of being practical, and nonsense is worthless in their eyes.
"Heh." Viscount Cochrane shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, we will just say one word next, wait!"
I don't know whether it was God's will or a coincidence, but both sides who were fighting secretly chose to delay time at the same time.
"Wait?" A lord was puzzled.
"Yes, wait, wait until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns to the capital, wait until the rapid development of the new law spreads to the capital, the boy's enemies in the capital, those adults who firmly control the power, I don't know if they will wait and see! "
Viscount Cochrane smiled and sipped the red wine, looking into the distance with deep eyes.
"But, why don't we do other small tricks?" A lord asked suspiciously.
"Oh, of course not, it's just that it's no longer on the surface, and the action is penetrated to the core of the new law, the new law!" Viscount Cochrane replied with piercing eyes.
After another month of running around, the exhausted Crown Prince Yona went straight to the king's study without taking a break.
"Your Majesty, I'm back." After being allowed to enter the study, the crown prince knelt on the ground and kissed the old king's right hand.
"Well...it's Jona! You're back...cough cough!" The old king's tone was weak, and he coughed violently a few times.
After only two months of absence, the old man seemed to have aged for ten years. Crown Prince Yona felt a little apprehensive for a while, and hurriedly asked, "Grandfather, are you okay?"
"Cough...it's all right, just suffering from a bit of cold, I have asked the Archbishop of the Moonlight Church to see it, there is no major problem...cough cough, just pay attention to rest next time." The old king was lying on the chair, weak squeezed out a smile.
"Huh, that's good, that's good!" The crown prince breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he has always been mentally prepared, as that day approached, he still couldn't help feeling a little dazed. Was he really ready to take over this country?
"Ahem!" The old king coughed a few more times, as if seeing his eldest grandson's worries, he smiled weakly and said, "Before taking that position, no one knows whether they are ready, but time will not." Stay, that day will come. When you sit in that position, even if you are not ready, you must perform your duties!"
The crown prince nodded sadly, then stood up, his expression became serious, and said: "Your Majesty, I will complete the inspection with the new law collar for Simon Pioneer."
At this moment, the two parties are no longer grandparents and grandchildren, but monarchs and ministers reporting work!
The old king was a little satisfied, and nodded slightly: "Tell me, how is the situation?"
The crown prince thought through his thoughts clearly, and told what he had experienced in the new law territory without concealment, including the exchange of interests with Simon, and his worries about the future of the new law territory.
The old king listened carefully, interjecting questions from time to time. When he heard about the land equalization system, the household registration system, the parity law, and the five reforms to the soldiers, farmers, industry, and soldiers, the old man's eyes suddenly brightened, and his power made the crown prince shudder.
"Good, good, good!" The old king showed joy, his cheeks were a little rosy, he looked energetic, and he didn't look like an old man at all.
"Good system, good policy!" The old man couldn't stop praising ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The excitement in his eyes became more and more intense.
But immediately, thinking of his physical condition and the current state of the kingdom, the light in the old king's eyes dimmed instantly. He shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed up to the sky: "What a pity, what a pity! If I were thirty years younger, if this kid could give birth to three years earlier!" In ten years, maybe the Silver Moon Kingdom can change the world!"
"But now..." Looking at the gentle, intelligent, but not tough Crown Prince Yona, the old king smiled sadly: "I was born early, he was born late, and you were born at the wrong time. The three of us, it would be great if we didn't have time to misalign!"
He is old, so old that he has almost no time left, and his control over the kingdom is also declining. It is impossible to make any changes to the country.
The crown prince is too gentle, and his methods can't restrain those powerful people at all. If he acts in a proper manner, he may become a generation of virtuous kings in the future, but if he wants to touch the cake of the nobles, he can't stop those wolves from biting and biting back.
Simon is too young, so young that the old king is a little scared. If he supports the royal family in the future, Crown Prince Yona will be able to govern the country with ease, but if he also becomes the leader of the lord, I am afraid...
The only thing that comforted the old king was the relationship between Simon and Irina. At least before leaving, he didn't have no way to restrain him.
There was a dead silence in the room for a while. After the old king had vented his emotions, the crown prince also recovered from his emotions and asked tentatively, "Grandfather, the marriage between the Blue Kingdom and the Principality of Love?"
"Ah, what are you talking about." The old king rubbed his stubble and said with an inscrutable smile: "I have already solved it. Loyal of the Somley family will marry into the Principality of Love, and the man of the Mann family Shanina, will marry into the Azure Kingdom."
Meow meow meow? The crown prince scratched his head in bewilderment.
